Some players clip the first half second of a file. Some video editors need a gap before the music comes in. A reverb tail needs room to fade. All three are solved by adding a bit of silence.
Set the silence for the start and for the end, up to 30 seconds each. The audio in between isn't changed.
How to use the Add Silence to Audio tool
- Add your audio file.
- Set the silence at the start and at the end.
- Add the silence and download the padded file.
Popular uses
- A lead-in so the first word is not cut off
- Spacing between tracks on a CD or in a playlist
- Room at the end for an echo or reverb to fade
Tips for the best result
- For silence in the middle of a file, split it, pad one half, and join them.
- Add several files to pad them all the same way.
